A program to prevent depression among women who show no signs of depression would be considered "selective" because it targets a specific subgroup of the population that is at higher risk for developing depression (in this case, women) but does not yet show symptoms. If the program targets women who show early symptoms of depression, it would be "indicated" because it is aimed at individuals who are identified as having minimal but detectable signs or risk factors that indicate the onset of depression.
